The first one that came up, I thought rightaway "That must be from the Kahiki" because they had one that style, and the paint job is of the late Kahiki period....but then there are so many! Any Columbus Tiki agents that can look into this? When visiting Chicago lately, I found that my hotel was right across from the Lincoln Park Zoo... ...the first complete Zoo I ever encountered where you could just walk in for free! Right by the entrance is this wonderful old green house: Expertly laid out, a jungle in a metropolis It was here that I discovered proof of the influence of primitive art on botanics: If you look hard, you can see the abstract lines of an African mask in that leaf. :)
